http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/aflowers7166 en-us I'm sorry, but I don't understand. I am a 27 year old male who is also a convicted felon. I have been clean from drugs for 1 year and things couldn't be better. It's all about how you talk to people. I mean, you say that you are educated, but take a minute and read back through your story. There are so many mispellings, it's as though a third-grader wrote it! You should consider going back to school to educate yourself further. This will also give you the opportunity to communicate with others who are making progress in their lives. Another suggestion is to regularly attend AA meetings. I have found that there are many successful people in the program who are willing to help out. You have to realize that, as convicted felons, we are automatically outcast from certain positions in life. Unfortunately, this is fair discrimination. But once we get our foot in the door, as long as we do what we are supposed to and show up everyday, hard work cannot be denied. Good luck with things, and keep your head up. aflowers7166 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:43:48 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/convicted_felons_unable_to_find_work 221068
